New ones are clearly just around the corner We've already seen that the Threadripper 7980X and Threadripper Pro 7995WX processors offer incredible performance, but there are a number of new records worth noting. [caption id="attachment_83835" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] For example, back in October, at a closed event, AMD itself said that the 96-core Threadripper Pro 7995WX can be overclocked in such a way that it will score more than 184,000 points in Cinebench R23. So far no one has achieved such a result, but there are already first results using liquid nitrogen: 177,050 points. Before the advent of the Threadripper Pro 7995WX, the best result was the record of two 96-core Epyc 9654, which was 147,668 points. Threadripper Pro 7995WX sets a number of new records [caption id="attachment_83837" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] In Cinebench R24, the result was 8230 points, while the previous record was held by the Intel Xeon W9-3945X and it was 6159 points. The result in 7zip is even more impressive. If previously Threadripper Pro 5995WX held the title of record holder with a score of almost 514,000 points, then Threadripper Pro 7995WX almost doubled it, scoring almost 1.1 million points.

Based on RISC-V cores The Chinese company SophGo is developing a processor based on the RISC-V architecture, using solutions from the American company SiFive. [caption id="attachment_82463" align="aligncenter" width="600"] 64-core processor[/caption] The processor, called the SG2380, has 16 SiFive P670 cores, each roughly equivalent in performance to a Cortex-A77, a SiFive X280 AI/ML accelerator, and an AXT-16-512 GPU from Imagination Technologies. The Chinese company SophGo is creating a 64-core processor based on American SiFive technologies In addition, SophGo has already announced the SG2044 SoC, which will be released next year. It will already offer 64 processor cores, support for PCIe 5.0 and LPDDR5x. Both solutions will be produced using the 12 nm process technology, apparently at the facilities of the Chinese SMIC, since initially the SiFive cores, which SophGo uses, are focused on much more modern technology processes. Thus, SophGo is not subject to the latest US sanctions, since they do not apply to the RISC-V architecture. The popularity of this architecture has been growing recently, and American sanctions may make RISC-V an even more popular solution specifically in China.

Now with Core i5-12500H Huawei has updated its all-in-one MateStation X 2023, making it cheaper at the same time. [caption id="attachment_79585" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Huawei with Intel processor[/caption] Instead of the original Core i9-12900H, with which the PC was originally released at the end of last year, the updated version is equipped with a less powerful Core i5-12500H. But this PC is cheaper: $1,300 versus $1,780. Huawei with Intel processor and large screen. Introduced cheaper all-in-one MateStation X 2023 At the same time, there is 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, like the older modification of the original version. The remaining parameters remained unchanged. This primarily concerns the large 28-inch screen with a resolution of 3840 x 2560 pixels and an aspect ratio of 3:2. True, the frame rate remained normal (60 Hz). The rest includes stereo speakers, a webcam, a Wi-Fi 6 adapter, two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1.

CPUs have already appeared in one store The 14th generation Intel Core processors, which will be presented in a month, have already appeared in the Canadian online store PC Canada. [caption id="attachment_56285" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel Core processors[/caption] New 14th Gen Intel Core processors look set to keep prices roughly the same as the current generation Of course, you can’t buy a CPU yet, but prices are indicated. And they are almost the same as those of the current generation. The markup for new products is 2–7%, and the price has increased the least for the Core i7-14700KF, which, we recall, unlike other new products, will have more cores than its predecessor. [caption id="attachment_56286" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel Core processors[/caption] Of course, prices may still change, however, most likely, if Intel was going to significantly raise prices for new CPUs relative to old ones, we would have already seen this in similar early leaks.
